Overview

Assensing Bolt feels bad to one's third eye. He's filled with negative emotions, substance abuse and foreign-looking ware. He's the de facto leader of the West Coast Monolith, a paramilitary assassination gang that wages a quiet war against other gangs that run protection money racketeering operations on the ghettos of Seattle. The WCM doesn't demand payment from neighborhoods and for most intents and purposes leaves the civilian populace alone, instead raiding gang supply caches and occasionally hiring themselves out as assassins during gang wars.

Bolt finds this a better retirement than cozying up on some beachfront property in Florida or growing senile in an old folks' home. He's no longer a badge, but he's still keeping civilians safe and putting bullets between the eyes of street scum. While he and the founder of his gang don't always see eye to eye, he's a fierce and unrelenting leader that doesn't back down when things get rough. Some even say he's bloodthirsty, a mad dog, drugged up serial killer. Nobody ever said he can't be bloodthirsty and a folk hero, however.

Not that most neighborhoods really even know the WCM exists. Their discreet modus operandi means their efforts often go unrecognized. Bolt's used to busting down doors and hitting opposition like K-E's sledgehammer tactics dictate, so he's in unfamiliar territory with something this subtle. Still, he's getting networked with a couple of suppliers here and there and is more than happy to get some runners working with him to get more funding for the WCM. Lord knows he needs more nuyen to fund the gang and badly. Since he refuses to squeeze payment out of civilians, other sources must be considered. Shadowrunning is just fine for that, albeit risky.

Notes For A GM

• Consider him friendly for social checks if runners offer him one of his favorite drugs -- Guts or Nitro respectively.
• Bolt was one of the angriest Knight-Errant heavy assault troops during his career. He relies a lot on rules, nowadays those of his gang.
• Often butts heads with Vichnozeleny; he's a far more aggressive and direct leader while Vic stresses stealth, low profile and subtlety.
• His primary values are loyalty to one's group, avoiding civilian collateral and hatred of typical street trash thugs.
• Bolt likes wetwork jobs and will prefer sending people to do wetwork or hooding, but dislikes getting people on heists and corp sabotage jobs.
